Ric, I don't know if you were bowling back then(from reading your profile) but this is a remake of the original Stinger. Core wise, just a pearlized version of the V2 Clean coverstock. It is definately for the lighter side of mediums as was the original Stinger back in the day. It saves all of its flare for the last 20 feet which can make for some unreal angles on the backend, as well as over-under as a drawback. The poster above me made a great analogy. I told a guy the other day, this ball is like putting bicycle tires on a harley. It's gonna turn a corner like a mofo, but skid and be uncontrollable unless you change those tires(coverstock). I think this would be an excellent ball with a light sanding or in the hands of the more experienced bowler.
